Most hams confuse Grounding and Bonding, which are VERY different. An 
earth connection matters ONLY for lighting protection and electrical 
safety. Bonding matters for those issues, and also minimizes hum, buzz, 
and RFI. Bonding consists of tying together ALL earth electrodes, all 
station equipment, the station common point, including antenna entry 
panels and arrestors, towers that are adjacent to the house, etc.
